- A collision on the N52 at Dunmahon on Sunday shortly before 12:30pm involving two motorcycles and a jeep killed a motorcyclist in his 50s and left another motorcyclist seriously injured.
- Earlier on Sunday a man in his 60s died in a single‑car crash at Carrigans Park, Donamon, and his body was taken to University Hospital Galway with the coroner notified.
- Two injured men were taken to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda, including the seriously hurt motorcyclist in his 40s and the jeep driver whose injuries are reported as non‑life‑threatening.
